Yes! I recently was skipping through the channels on my TV and saw Trump and Musk sitting in the front row in a UFC match! 😄

It would increase the cost of exporting those goods to the USA. That would reduce the profits of making and exporting those goods. That would either cause the goods to be sold at a lower price or lower the demand for the goods. Either of those would affect the economy of the country and would probably result in a reduction in the workforce of that industry. I am not an economist, so all this is just my thinking and resulting opinions on this subject.

Trump's suggested tariffs would hurt not only US consumers but also citizens in the country where the tariffs were imposed.

The Democrats (including me) don't have a "Death Wish"; we have a "Life Wish." Harris didn't do so badly. She did get about 48% of the popular vote in this election. Trump lost the last election but was still nominated by the Republican Party this time - and won. Why wouldn't Harris still be considered? I, however, would prefer someone like Pete Buttigieg, even though I know the majority of my fellow USA citizens are not ready for someone like him...yet. But after four years of Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress, they might be willing to vote for any Democrat nominated.

The terms "Trump" and "Intelligence Briefing" are an oxymoron.

So, is a "transgender woman" a man who dresses and acts like a woman or a woman who dresses and acts like a man? I know here it means the former. Would this act bar women (the latter above, or even "real" women) from using men's restrooms also?

All you say is true except for the last sentence. The popular vote does not determine the votes in the Electoral College, the Senate, or the House. Trump did not get a majority of the popular vote. The last figures I saw on CNN yesterday showed him with 49.9% of the popular vote. (Harris got about 48.5%). 49.9% is not a majority. 50.1% is a majority. 49.9% is a plurality, but yes, it means Trump did win the popular vote.

The votes in the Electoral College determine the winner. Trump won that. I was just posting that Trump did not get a MAJORITY of the votes cast in the popular vote. He did get a PLURALITY of those votes, but for the presidential election, it's only the Electoral Votes that count.

Trump's 'huge lie' shows 'he’s taking everyone for an idiot' So, does this surprise anyone except the voters who voted for him? And, I suspect it doesn't even surprise some of them.

I would only support the deportation of "illegal" immigrants who have been convicted of criminal acts. I would not support the deportation of "illegal" immigrants who did enter the country illegally but are seeking asylum. I believe their cases should be heard, and then, if their claims of asylum are accepted, they should be allowed to stay in the USA, my home country. If their claims are not accepted, then they should be deported.

Yes, I know. It's determined by votes in the Electoral College. I did see this morning on CNN, however, that Trump did not get a majority of the popular vote. His percentage now is 49.9%. Harris' is about 48.5%, or something like that.

Yes, but apparently, a plurality of voters (49.9% the last I saw) either didn't think about that, didn't care, or actually support that.

As do all of Trump's other suggested appointments...

After Trump's election as president, does this surprise anyone? Everyone should be prepared to see things like this and worse during the next four years.

Too late! My fellow citizens have either been conned of actually have the same values Trump has. We'll (USA) will have to suffer through his presidency. Hopefully, there will be something left four years from now from which we (USA) can rebuild our government, economy, and country.
